      Obvious fake "Reality TV" yet again:
      The multiple camera angles, panning in/out that can only be done by a real time camera operator, voice audio you can only get by using mics or a sound boom...
      Come on people, surely you can see this is about as real as the Kardashians, surely?

      Part and parcel of how the con artist screws over people. First you build "con"fidence and rapport with the duped, you use magician tricks to manipulate or to create a "reality" that is in fact false and untrue, (with the help of the duped), and then move in for the kill, i.e. the sale of a worthless junk Flashcard Kit, to "exercise and improve the child's natural intellectual abilities", so they can then realize their fullest potential.

    If you’re wondering about the solution:
    It’s all sleight of hand. Michael shows the woman a complicated series of equations and then swaps the card and shows the girl something like 11 + 1. They are seeing different cards (same idea for the first one with apple). For the Rubik’s Cube it’s an incredibly common switch where the girl hands him the cube and while he reaches for the big one he swaps it for a matching cube. The girl is so surprised that she doesn’t pay attention to the cube changing. Simple tricks, yet cool all the same ^.^

      simple: its a sleight of hand trick, 2 cubes(3 counting the large one), the display that he rotates to show it can in fact be rotated, then the second cube with the solved sides fixed in place then gets swapped in place of the real one. The same can be done with the flash cards and a bit of paper hidden in the palm of his hand or between the card and a false backing of said card.

    There are indeed four apples on the card. When he shows the mom the card, and asks her "what number would you say", he signals with his hand towards her, briefly but very obviously putting one finger up as he asks the question. This is a very simplistic way of manipulating people's thoughts, but apparently it works. I used to do something similar as a kid; using a specific word in the question that sounded a lot like the number I was 'predicting', and using seemingly insignificant pauses, with the right timing and tone, I found out that most people would fall for it. They'd 'think' of a random number, but in most instances they thought of the number that I briefly but very clearly highlighted in the question.
    The mom says one because he shows her one finger. It's not a random number as such, she's just very easy to manipulate.
    When it's the daughter's turn, he doesn't do the hand-gesture, but instead holds the card up with four fingers facing her. The thumb is on the back of the card. It's a weird way of holding a card. Normally, you'd make like a fist and hold the card between thumb and index in the center of the bottom; the way a soccer ref holds up a red card. But he very obviously places four fingers right on the front of the card, so that they're very clearly visible to her. She says four, I think.. wasn't too clear to me what she uttered.
    The calculation trick seems quite difficult to pull off, and I'm not entirely sure how it's done. The mom is staring at the problem, trying to make sense of it, and her focussing on the symbols and numbers is kind of the point, I believe. The answer she gives is irrelevant, even though there was a small chance that she would've said 12 by mere coincidence. When he shows the daughter the card, the girl isn't considering the calculation. She doesn't know these symbols, but she's probably old enough to know that 15 - 3 = 12. She recognizes the minus symbol, while ignoring all other unfamiliar symbols, and because what she sees on the top of the card is 15 = - 3, it's probable that she extracts those numbers and symbols and gets 12 as a result. The mom is trying to interpret the problem, because she does recognize all of those other symbols, whereas the child does not, so what the child sees (i.e. notices) and what the mom sees is different. I find this quite interesting.
    The final trick is probably just him getting them to focus on the big colorful object while he quickly grabs a hidden rubix cube that matches the big one.
    All in all, it's pretty obvious what's happening here, and I wouldn't have fallen for it, but I think he did great. Nice, natural presentation.
    Some of the things he said were very nonsensical. Children are born knowing? Lol. They're not. We come into the world devoid of knowledge. And intuition (or gut feeling, or instinct) is rejected as a source of knowledge because it's not objectively verifiable. If I was being told that, it would immediately cause me to pay extra close attention to what this guy is saying and doing.

      The cards one he probably just hides the answer with his hand when showing to the mom and when he shows it to the kid he changes his hand position. When I worked with kids party we used this trick. Most kids get along with the act pretty quick, specially when they understand that they're tricking adults, they become instant sidekicks to the performance. And you probably would be fooled too because people like him are professionals in getting your attention, no matter how smart you are. That's why they choose these public places where people let their guard down instead of openly saying they are magicians and start raising suspicions. We know it's a trick so we start paying attention to other details, but when we are in a conversation with a cashier we tend to focus on other things.

      I've got a far easier explanation. This is all actually faked. The equation one is a dead giveaway because you cannot solve it analytically, it requires a numeric approximation to obtain the result 12, which means that this problem was either solved correctly by pure guess and they just tried this on multiple kids till they got one that replied what they wanted, or they are clearly just acting.

      Yeah, no. Obviously you're too biased to notice that she was actually impressed and asked her daughter how did she do it.... Sigh.

    This is what's driving me crazy: the value of x on that equation *IS* 12. I could understand if she had just guessed any number and then he had a trick to creating an answer card with that number on it while relying on the mother not being able to do the equation in her head to confirm/deny the result, but not this. Maybe he instead showed the girl a really easy card like "6 + 6 = ?"

    • @TheAnonymousComedy

      It is. A solution to that equation is 12. I sure love continuity.

      10INTM that is actually really a good assumption (why haven't i thought of that) she obviously sounded confident in her answer when she shouted 12 so obviously it was a simple 6+6 math equation or anything that equals 12

      CptAsshole Those cuts are them removing footage so that we get to experience the wonder of the magic trick as well, like when they make a switch when the victim is distracted. So how did you think the board room meeting went? "Ok, people. Let's make a magic prank show and we'll hire ACTORS!"
      "Um...how about we just pull pranks on people for real and film their reactions? It's not like magic tricks are impossible and we could save a lot of money if we didn't have to hire a bunch of..."
      "YOU'RE FIRED!! Now where was I? Oh, yes, and then we'll even release a few 'blooper' episodes to enhance the deception because we're just so damn dishonest on principle. Only the most obnoxious cynics will even suspect something is amiss! MUAHAHAHAHA!"

      People are blind, and dumb. she does twist the cube- but it doesn't matter. It's not a STANDARD RUBIX CUBE with un-restricted movement.

      Ya, you can see her fiddling around a bit but nowhere there's an actual turn of the cube to see. However, he could also simply have sleight-of-hand-switched it with another, so it doesn't have to be glued at all.
